Buen Producto
I bought it a month ago; it’s lightweight, and I’m happy with it—I use it instead of my watch. I have the entire Garmin ecosystem.

Battery life
I’m not pleased with the battery life of the CIRQA. It lasts maybe 32 hours.

Don't buy this. I've had an awful experience with it. It has never recorded my workouts properly, distance, pace, GPS and heart rate all extremely incorrect. I've made a good faith attempt to try to work it out with Garmin customer service, but they've now taken more than a month with their 'investigation' and I still have a Cirqa that doesn't work. I'm now outside the Target return window with no solution in sight. I think I'm stuck with this $200 dollar useless bracelet.

Worst Garmin product
This is by far the most disappointing Garmin product I've ever purchased. It worked for just two hours before disconnecting, and despite trying every available troubleshooting step, I couldn't get it to reconnect. I eventually had no choice but to return it. To make matters worse, I now have to wait at least two weeks for a replacement or a refund. For a brand like Garmin, both the product reliability and the return process fall well short of expectations. A product that fails within hours of first use should not leave the customer waiting weeks for a resolution. Very disappointing, Garmin. Keep up the "good" work!

Best Sleep Features Ever
I’ve been using Garmin products for over 20 years and have never been disappointed. I bought this product to get a better understanding of my sleep patterns and numbers. It’s been super easy to use and the numbers are having an impact on my training. It’s only been a month but my overall experience has been fabulous.

Poor Battery life
I bought this for the sleep functions and HRV. I suppose it does a pretty good job with these; however, the battery life is far from the stated up to 11 days. It’s much closer to 3 days. For a garmin product this is disappointing

Wanted to love it
Not super excited about all the bugs. I bought it primarily as a heart rate monitor and sleep recording. Secondary use as a tracker for hiking around the city. After a charge the Hr won’t always work and I have to repair the whole system to my connect app. And some random mornings I get “ no sleep recorded”. The event tracker won’t show me my route even when I have my phone on me. I should have waited, yall seemed to have rushed the release

Good not great
I bought it for a better sleep score than was provided with my Fenix 8, and I think it’s going that. It gets 4 stars because the one time I used the automatic sensing exercise setting, I stopped my run for 4 mins to refill water flasks and it never started back… also there’s no silicone band option and the battery life is similar to my Fenix 8 solar….. except it doesn’t have a screen. Was hoping for longer run times like my old whoop Overall it does what I bought it for, I would NOT want it for my only wearable

Definitely a great addition to my Garmin ecosystem
It actually is great because it brings you to accountant some things like how your sleep patterns are affecting your training readiness that has been very helpful for me. It’s important to know that you have to be patient in the beginning so that I can collect enough data to give you all the parameters like heart rate, variability, etc. but if I need to be very accurate coincides well with my chest strap does not seem to interfere with my Trainer rights in terms of data management or on Baik management as well. I already use the Garmin ecosystem, including Garmin edge by computer and garment, chest strap, and within ecosystem, I can say that it interacts Flawlessly highly recommend

Poor Battery life compared to Helios.
I bought this because I'm in the Garmin ecosystem. I did have the Amazfit Helios which I feel is a better product for the money. It also has a 10-day battery life as advertised, unlike the Cirqa which the battery sucks. Also left the Helios HR broadcast mode and SPo2 on all the time and still got 10 days. The Cirqa is comfortable to wear and has some features that I do like. If I did not have Garmin watches/bike computers I would rather have the Helios.

Worth it!
I bought this 3 weeks ago after returning a different band that starts with an H ( complete scam). The CIRQA was super easy to set up and works great. Mainly using it for walking so far due to the weather. I have only had to charge it once. Can't wait to try some more activity settings.

Stop. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!
I was very excited to see Garmin came out with this. Unfortunately, it has only proven that Garmin is like the other giant companies and they are releasing products before they actually work at all, and they expect you, the paying customer, to beta test them. This band literally does nothing that it states it is supposed to do! Any measurements that it takes do not get applied to your daily metrics whatsoever. Want to wear it at night when you go to bed? It will not affect your body battery measurements in any way! It’s literal main purpose, and it does not function. The measurements it does take show up at completely different levels than my Fenix shows, making it impossible to know if anything either are doing are accurate. It is supposed to recognize repeated events as well; It does not, and therefore doubles all of your activities in Garmin and anywhere else you have Garmin synced, leaving you to clean them up. I reached out to support over two weeks ago and not a thing has changed. They also, will not contact you; you have to constantly check with them. When you’re wearing a device that is supposed to be measuring your metrics, and all your pages on Garmin connect say “Not enough data,” it really makes you wonder why you would even considered to continue supporting a company that treats their customers like this. I was about to pull the trigger on a Fenix 9 Pro as well, but will definitely be looking into other ecosystems instead. What a waste of time and money. Make a better choice than I did! [I tried to upload screenshots of zero data from the worthless piece of plastic but this site will not do anything when clicking on the link. Go figure.]

Comfort and Versatility
I love the versatility of the Garmin CIRQA. At night, I swap my Forerunner 970 for it because it’s so comfortable to sleep in. I also wear it on my bicep during workouts, where it stays out of the way of kettlebells and avoids that restrictive feeling I sometimes get from a heart-rate chest strap. Its comfort, simple design, and one-button activity recording make it a standout for me.

Good, not great
Feels comfortable but battery does not last as long as advertised and underreports awake time when using to track sleep. I like the option to switch from my Fenix 8 to the Cirqa and still compile daily data.

Disappointed
Fitness tracking isn't bad, but the sleep tracking is trash. It records phantom naps, tells me I went to bed and was in "deep sleep" two hours before I go to bed, and fails to capture my multiple awakenings at night. The battery life is also terrible, doesn't last 5 days. Also, I get a weird rash on the wrist I wear it on and need to switch back and forth. Very disappointed.
